The New Philips 27E2F7901 Monitor Brings High-end Design Features to Content Creators

[TheLostSwede]

TPV-USA, a leading display specialist and North America brand license partner for Philips monitors is excited to announce the launch of the Philips 27E2F7901 Creator Series monitor. The monitor is the most important tool that creators use, and up till now, designer-level monitors were out of reach for most people's budgets. The Creator Series breaks new ground by offering a 27" 4K IPS Black screen with Display HDR 400 and a host of other high-end features for $499.99 USD - a price most independent content creators can afford. It is available on Amazon starting September 5, 2023.

Philips 27E2F7901: Showcasing Vibrant Visuals and Deep Contrast
One of the star features of the Philips 27E2F7901 monitor is IPS Black. As this monitor is made for those interested in visually-demanding professions, IPS black offers improved contrast ratio with deeper blacks that make colors pop.




Another hallmark feature that improves this monitor's visual productivity is its VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification and HDR HLG standard. With the VESA Display HDR 400 certification, users can be sure that their product produces a full palette of stunning imagery.

In contrast to the traditional HDR standard, however, the HDR HLG feature of the Philips 27E2F7901 encodes HDR data independently. This feature is meant to cut the transmission bandwidth from a device to the monitor in half, which allows visual content to be transmitted at higher quality.

Adding to the Philips 27E2F7901's visual punch is the screen's 3840 x 2160 4K UHD resolution and the monitor's capacity to display up to 1.07 billion colors for the most accurate, smooth, and vivid color gamut. The Creator Series monitor also covers a much wider color gamut than most monitors (sRBG 100% and DCI-P3 98%), and Display-P3 perfectly reflects the colors and details you see on your MacBook screen.

Better Connectivity Makes for Higher Quality Imagery
One of the Philips 27E2F7901's main features is the DisplayPort 1.4 and it is geared toward visual editing. With this feature, video content can be transferred at 32.4 Gbit/s. It also harbors a USB-C Hub with 96 W power delivery.

In the Philips 27E2F7901's arsenal is a feature that is meant to please every type of visual artist: Its USB-C connection. With the option of power delivery to your connected device, users can do anything from charging their laptop to watching high-resolution video or transferring data to external devices rapidly- all through one cable.

Aesthetically Pleasing On Screen and Off
All these visual features are not the only thing that makes the Philips 27E2F7901 shine. To find its beauty, one can also look at the monitor's exterior.

Additional Features and Availability for the Philips 27E2F7901
The Philips 27E2F7901 is equipped with LowBlue mode that protects your eyes from blue light-induced eye strain and Flicker Free technology that reduces and/or eliminates the perception of screen flicker and is Calman-certified.

The Philips 27E2F7901 will be available on Amazon for purchase on September 5, 2023 at a price of $499.99 USD.

Both the monitors listed on that Philips page look quite good values. 34" is 100Hz and under $400 while 27" is a 4k 8bit+FRC with really good connectivity options.

Speaking of philips. My Philips 3 year old monitor suffers from LCD panel detaching from the top frame. Looks like it is held by a glue. It probably had "best before 2023 end" markings on it when they applied.
It has detached in the center top spot. Leans about 1mm away from the frame. If i push it, it sticks again, but for few hours only.

I have HP z32k G3 screens which are 31.5" IPS Black, and in case anyone is wondering if IPS Black is worth it.. Hell yeah.

Even after several months i'm still not used to the colors.. That's how awesome they are.

I thought since the mass production of OLED monitors, IPS for content creating became obsolete ...

You show us a similarly specced OLED display for $500 then.
Not everyone can afford an OLED display.

STILL only 60 Hz.

I was ready to buy if it was higher.

Does HP include any kind of freesync support and/or lets you bump the refresh up to 72hz or is it like the dell variants where you can't do anything?

"Display HDR 400" is a sham specification for monitors that don't really have the brightness/color capabilities of HDR but they want to put a HDR sticker on it anyway.
They usually have 200 nits in normal scenarios - which is something all monitors had in the last 2 decades.
Philips Display died long time ago, it was acquired by TPV, a Chinese company, in 2005.
The Chinese company purchased it so they can stick the Philips name on cheap low quality products and scam customers in buying them.

I don't know yet, still haven't got that far. I just got 2 of these screens setup. There is a firmware update that i need to use some old windows machine to do. Currently one screen is hooked to a c246 mobo with integrated Intel UHD 630 iGPU/DP 1.2, which is 4k@60 max afaik, and the other to a Quadro P620 GPU/DP 1.4. If you know how to test bumping the rate using the quadro P620 in linux, i might consider testing, unless i risk frying the screen.

Next up is to get 15 meter optical cables for these, those will probably support more than 60Hz on 4k.

But i don't remember any mention of freesync in specs or manual. Any info is welcome, but these are definitely not gaming monitors though. The panel is presumably the same manufacturer as the Dell's.. They do have Thunderbolt / USB4 inputs.

But those colors.. I run the "HP enhanced" color profile, and watching video like 'Star Trek Strange new worlds' is just awesome. Also Futurama with those large unicolor areas is fun. I still can't get used to how the colors pop..
